Dear Karina,

Wow, I can’t believe it has been 3 years and 7 months. That is 1317 days. 1317 long, hard days without you. I always wondered where you’d be at in life, where our friendship would be at in life. Lets be honest, friendships after high school are hard to maintain. That goes for a lot of people.

Karina, you were the most gorgeous, angelic human being anyone has ever come to know. I still don’t understand how it all happened and I don’t think that I ever will. You were such a happy and positive person. I remember what it was like to get the news. I was so shocked and just.. my mouth dropped. I was speechless.

I was in the gym, on my phone, waiting to hear from you… I never thought I would hear “let us all take a moment of silence for one of our very own students, Karina Macedo.” I mean, I was not the greatest student or person, so why couldn’t I have been the one to get taken that soon? Why did you? You had goals, plans, so many opportunities. You never got to walk the field, you will never be able to get married, you will never be able to have a family. It truly is sad. You had people that loved and cared about you so much and still do. I just wish God didn’t have to take you so soon. I’m so proud to have had a friend that did not care or judge me for anything that I did. In fact, you were always there for me for every step of majority of the things. You are what gave me hope. You are who helped me when I had no one else to go to.

I always told myself that if I ever have a little girl, I would name her after you. So I did. She’s just as beautiful and smart as you. She reminds me of you in so many ways already. I know you’d love her.

Every day that goes by mean another day closer to seeing you. I truly hope all of your family and friends makes you smile and happy. I will never forget you.

No one will ever forget you or the impact you left on us.

1317 days and counting. 1317 days closer to seeing you again. Watch over all of your loved ones.

Rest easy, Karina. We can’t wait to see you soon.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
